France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40% Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed

The signs were there, the US president is slathered in orange paint

Man, Trump will save the planet? Somehow?

So you are saying Trump and Bibi went above and beyond?

China's gonna win, big time- As Ford smashes up their EV factory lol

And trump is blocking all of the alternative energy projects he can. Who the f*** is winning?

Chinese EV start arriving in Canada this month. Trump is going to help those sales.

No they didn't, only the American ones did, the vast majority of big car companies are going strong into EVs, Americans just didn't want that for some reason

Trumps entire economic plan was drill baby drill. He said that he was going to reduce energy prices down so much that everything will be cheaper. Because it will be cheaper to manufacture (with lower energy costs), cheaper to transport, etc. It’s wild that I haven’t heard any reporter ask how the massive increase in energy prices will impact his original “plan” (at the time energy prices could not have got much cheaper)

>Remember, if the farmer has no diesel they are not operating machinery Or if there is no fertilizer, yields crater.

Their criticism of President Obama was “slowest economic recovery in history.” They literally blamed him for not cleaning up their mess faster.

Exactly, and then the Democrat gets blamed for the bad economy they inherited and can’t fix overnight so a Republican wins the next term and inherits the economy that just turned around and gets credit for it.

Not financially.

I feel like a Roman citizen living in southern Gaul in 421 CE. A few years back, we were just worried about the withdrawal from Britain but now here at home Roman rule has already been replaced by a Visigoth prince. The economy is getting worse and worse, ruined by many successive Emperors debasing the coinage. And now I hear about the faraway conflicts with the Sasanian Empire flaring up again. Little do I know that within 30 years Rome will be sacked by the very same Huns (led by Attila) that the Empire is currently using as a mercenary force, and that within another 30 years the Western Empire will be gone. A hundred years ago people lauded Diocletian as a great Emperor, but we can see now how his reforms created the basis of the Feudal regime that the Franks and Visigoths are now putting in place. A few years ago we were just worried by Brexit, but here in Canada we worry about the US president wanting to take over our country. The American government is being looted by the oligarchy, using market manipulation and quantitative easing. Again conflicts with Iran are causing so much trouble, and I expect the American Empire will lay in tatters after the Trumpian mess is over. We will be ruled over by Techno-lords like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. 40 years ago Americans lauded Ronald Reagan as a great President, despite many people trying to issue warnings, we can all see now how the economic policies (inspired by the Chicago School of Economics) he pushed brought about this new Techno-feudalism that will enable their rule.

Just we. They don't get to suffer. We need to make them suffer.

It has been around 14 months since he took the oath of office. what a shit show it has been. Any one of the dozens of controversies could have toppled any other administration, but with this one, it is a normal Tuesday.

We need someone to show up with a fake newspaper that claims that Trump was right for calling California ugly and dumb because they put windmills in california. Same trick Madonna use to get funding going to want your player to his stupid dementia riddle ego. That's what every other rich person figured out last year. They gave him a bunch of stupid gold-plated gifts because it makes his stupid brain happy.

South Africa is rationing diesel fuel for commercial trucks and we expect petrol stations to run out soon.

Plus the AI goldrush that means components are unaffordable. A local company has just said that they are likely to go bust as the price of components mean their product price would almost double. It’s the perfect storm for inflation and a recession. Coupled with a crappy job market that has been around for a year already.

But think of the damage those wind turbines could do when they leak billions of gallons of oil after an accident.

That's already a thing in Alabama. Gotta love third world red states.

Yeah, everyone who didn't vote for kamala harris either wanted the fascist racist pedophile rapist or they were perfectly fine with one representing them as their president.

Well yeah. Their kids won’t talk to them.

Yeah, I suspect this is going to be another Baggage Fee situation. Or another "supply chain issues" price increase that never goes away.

No, Americans have just single-handedly fucked the global economy and caused so much inflation that in a few years, these prices will seem normal anyway. Thanks America.

Worse it's to make those elites in the Epstein files more money using our tax dollars. They are probably very happy with all the displaced kids, they could fill new islands with them

he might just be completely delusional. or being completely tricked by a scammer like an old grandma.

Q4 GDP growth in America was 0.7% and most of that was because of AI investments. Without AI and data centres last year's 2.1% GDP growth would have actually been zero or negative. The Arab petrostates are one of the biggest sources of investment for AI research and data centres. If their own economies collapse that will stop. So yes, the AI boom is on the verge of a bust.

What the actual f*** is wrong with him.

Now just wait until the Yanks have the same fuel prices as us in Australia, they might finally protest and take act---... Oh naa they won't.

A million years in the future, when an alien race stumbles upon earth, they won't find craters from nuclear bombs, or skeletons with their boney fingers hovering over dusty buttons that set off doomsday machines. They'll find an arid wasteland of crumbling cities and dried up oceans, and in one corner of the earth they'll find a giant pile of gold and other precious metals. It will be almost the entire planet's worth of wealth, and sitting atop it will be a lone skeleton, whose face, despite lacking any skin or other means of human expression, will seem to say, "I won."

The great filter is Greed. And always will be.

I know, that was kind of a rhetorical question. But still, the Republicans in Congress could have put a leash on Trump and forced him to defer to them in that war if he wanted more money to do it. But no, they are blindly following him off the cliff like sheeps.

You see, liberals are upset. Mission accomplished 

Meanwhile my dumbass of a country is too poor, irrelevant and corrupt to move into solar. I'm southeast Asian 

*"He would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes"* Except it’s the world we’re talking about
